HINT FOR SATURDAY NIGHT’S THEME. (2.18.12)

14 Feb

HINT:

This week, Turntable For One pays tribute to one of songwriting’s most useful elements. Every great songwriter, generation after generation, knows this element can definitely be the first word in creating a classic song, but it should never be the last. Without this, songwriters – and their audiences – could never be In The Know, nor Out In Front, nor even Above The Fray.

For the answer to this week’s hint and 83% of Life’s mysteries, tune in at 10:00, Saturday night. If you’re late, the number automatically drops to 75%.

Live radio, Saturday night, 10:00 PM, WMNR and streaming on WMNR.org

1 Feb

HINT:

They say that “no man is an island,” though I think someone overlooked Dom Deluise. Still, while listening to this week’s show, you might start to feel the sand between your toes and hear waves lapping the beach. But try harder to stay awake because this week, more than usual, you’ll be making decisions about the music I play.

Hint:

Here’s a partial list of people who could be on Turntable For One this week. What do they all have in common?

Paul Simon, Justin Beiber, Jay Leno and David Letterman, Anthony Perkins, W.A. Mozart, Natalie Cole, Joan of Arc, and on and on…

I’m not certain they’ll all make it, but I hope you will. Something sinister is afoot, although not exactly.
